Donate or Recycle Your Old Computer
Donate and Recycle Old Computers
  

Your PC contains a significant amount of  lead, mercury, cadmium, barium, and phosphorus that can seriously harm the environment. One of the worst things we can do to this world is fill up landfills with computers that will be around for  thousands of years.  We all need to find better ways for disposing of our computers.

Before you toss your computer, look at our list below to see if you can donate your computer and software. And also look for local companies that recycle computers into usable metals and plastics.

If you are looking for a computer - call the phone numbers below to see if you and/or your organization are eligible.

The federal Tax Relief Bill of 1997 provides that businesses and corporations may take a tax deduction for the full purchase price of computer equipment donated to schools or to educational non-profits in less than two years from the original purchase.
